B12 Deficiency and Injections

2021-11-02 14:18:38
I was diagnosed with Vitamin B12 Deficiency (83 pg/ml) and my doctor had put me on Methycobal injection 1000 mg every alternate day for first 10 days, later once every week for a month and then once a month for an year. Should I be taking these injections forever or can I switch to tablets later?
